I had this fabric from michaels for over a year... then I finally got a black t-shirt to recon so i did... finished approx. Jan 8th it has 3 pleats on each side of the collar part's buttons, a tie inthe back, and a bit of detail on the sleeves.

so I was in need of making something... and so i found that i had this fabric and i decided to make a skirt...as you can see this is coming along so so. I was thinking it might make a nice dress. I still have yet to hem the top and bottom seams and i should probably line it. it can also be taken in a bit more towards the top and waist. I could add a top part to it and make it a sort of summer dress as i don't have very much of the fabric left... or I can just wear a blouse that goes a bit better with it. (I should be making a "Gibson Girl" blouse soon...)

we had a challenge in geometry to remember how to make these little boxes... So, what with my fondness for cute little monsters that became my theme. now as it was the holiday season we did a gift swap ( we had no idea who would get each one) and so i filled mine with thwo treats...his name is Charles...he got little dot eyes after the pic was taken.

now one of my friends saw it and got all excited and asked me to make her a pink one with a hat...so i did. even though she forgot soon after telling me what she wanted, so she was rather surprised to see him the next day. We named him Dr. Squee after the sound people make when they see him. my friend seems to be trying to make hime the mascot for the drama Techies. ^^

i made myself a new dress... unfortunately it has abit of an issue with the side seam... it's too puffy! if anyone can fix that it'd be great... behind each of the seams (2 on the back and one on each side) is a bit of pleating to make it fit better. it fastens on the poofy side with 3 clasps.
